Now SMS & MMS Lite

Send & Receive SMS and MMS Messages with GSM Modems

Using a GSM modem, or an Android phone as a modem, is a quick and efficient way to get started with SMS and/or MMS applications. No special service provider subscriptions are required, just a standard SIM card that has been activated for use with a mobile operator.

NowSMS Lite is designed to send and receive SMS and MMS messages using a GSM (GRPS/EDGE/3G/LTE) modem, or an Android phone acting as a modem.

End users can send and receive SMS and MMS messages via a web interface or their regular e-mail client.

Applications can send and receive SMS and MMS messages using standard protocols such as HTTP, SMTP/POP3/IMAP, SMPP or MM7, or using API examples for Java, PHP or command-line interfaces.

NowSMS Lite allows clients to submit SMS messages to NowSMS for delivery via the GSM modem, using either the HTTP, e-mail or SMPP protocols. NowSMS Lite also provides examples for submitting SMS messages from Java, PHP and a command line interface.

Received SMS messages can be routed to an application program using either HTTP, e-mail, SMPP, or a command-line interface.

NowSMS Lite allows clients to submit MMS messages for delivery via the GSM modem, using either a proprietary HTTP interface that supports both HTTP GET and POST operations, e-mail, or using the MM7 protocol. MM7 is a SOAP/XML based protocol that operates over HTTP POST. Additionally, NowSMS Lite provides examples for submitting MMS messages from Java, PHP and a command line interface.

Received MMS messages can be routed from NowSMS Lite to an application program using either MM7, an HTTP interface optimised for PHP, e-mail, or via a file/directory based interface.
